Work Safety
DANGER
•
Electric Shock Hazard
•
Never assume that equipment is safe to handle without using the necessary safety
equipment and earthing procedures.
•
All procedures must comply with local safety regulations
•
Always treat exposed connectors and conductors as potential electric shock hazards.
•
DUT must be earthed, de-energized and isolated from all power sources.
•
All auxiliary electrical apparatus such as switchgear, surge arresters etc. must be
isolated from the test power source and the DUT.
•
•
All cables and connectors must be inspected for damage before use. Damaged
equipment must not be used.
Earth connections must be made first and removed last!
•
DUT must be discharged and earthed before disconnecting the test lead.
•
Avoid testing alone. In the event of an emergency another person’s presence may
be essential.
•
Don’t touch the PD during the test and before you didn’t have grounded the DUT and
the filter.
DANGER
Remove the PDC from the DUT before applying high voltage!
b2 electronic GmbH
13 | DHV0073 Rev00
DANGER
Authorized Personnel Only
